INTRODUCTION
This service manual was written to assist the professional service technician to quickly and accurately
diagnose and repair any malfunctions of this product. This manual, therefore, will deal with all sub-
jects in a general nature. (i.e. All text will pertain to all models).
IMPORTANT:
It will be necessary for you to accurately identify the Model you are servicing, so you can be certain of a proper diagnosis and repair. (See Unit Identification.)
The information contained in this manual is intended for use by a qualified service technician who is familiar with the safety procedures required to repair, and who is equipped with the proper
tools and test instruments.
Repairs made by unqualified persons can result in hazards subjecting them to the risk of injury or electrical shock which can be serious or even fatal not only to them, but also to anyone being served by the equipment.
If you perform service on equipment, you must assume responsibility for any bodily injury or
property damage which may result to you or others. Friedrich Air Conditioning Company will not be responsible for any injury or property damage arising from improper service, and/or service procedures.

HOW TO OPERATE DEHUMIDIFIER
Humidity Control
When first using the dehumidifier, we recommended that you run the unit with the humidistat control set to
MAX for the first three or four days until excess moisture and dampness odors are gone. After that you can
select the humidistat position that will best suit local conditions. The dehumidifier can control from 20% to
80% relative humidity. (See Figure 3.)
MAX isthe highest setting.
When excess moisture and dampness odors are gone,
adjust the control to a lower setting. Use the dehumidifier as long as excess moisture is present.
Fan Speed
The fan control adjusts the fan speed. Set the fan
control to HIGHfor maximum moisture removal. When
the humidity has been reduced and quiet operation is
preferred, set the fan control to LOW.
HOW DOES THE DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated dehumidi- fying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on this coiland drains into a bucket (or through the bucket into a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn over the condenser where it is actually heated several degrees and discharged out the front grille into the room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
This warming effect further reduces the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
LOCATION FOR THE DEHUMIDIFIER
Allow at least 12 inches of space on all sides of the unitfor good air circulation.
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to
be most effective. Close all doors, windows and other
outside openings to the room.
Place the dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict air flow into the rear coil or out the front grille.

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as
a closet, unless there is adequate air circulation throughout of the area.

MICROSWlTCH
The microswitch assembly, which is located on the barrier inside the unit, automatically turns the dehumidifier off when the bucket is full. (NOTE: the Auto Shut-Off light will illuminate to indicate the bucket should be emptied). When the bucket is
reinstalled, the unit will resume dehumidification.
AUTO DEFROST When frost builds up on the cooling coils, the compressor wilt cycle off until the frost melts. The fan will continues to run.
NOTE: This unit is designed to be operated at temperatures above 65°F (18°C). If the dehumidifier is operated in low temperature conditions where the temperature and humidity of the room are low, frost can form on the evapo- rator coil and cause the unit to short cycle.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
The humidistat automatically maintains the relative humidity in the room.
For MORE humidification, turn the dial towards MAX.
For LESS dehumidification, turn the dial towards OFF.
When the relative humidity in the room INCREASES to the selected level, the dehumidifier STARTS automatically. When the relative humidity DECREASES to the selected level, the dehumidifier wilt stop automatically.
NOTE: The relative humidity levels shown in Figure 3 are approximate values.
